LETS TALK TRAINS!!!

[trainboyH16-44]

I've seen the HO GP35s, had 2 of them for a while, didn't like them too much, but they ran ok even if the detail was a bit lacking. (The whole cab was misproportioned)

The CSX 'Boston Line' connects with VC I believe somewhere around there, and somehow they wind up on Guilford. LOL Correct me if I'm wrong somebody.

Thats definitly true!!!! people dont klnow what a Train really is and its a misfortune i must say [:(]

[trainboyH16-44]

even if they were made of styrofoam, there is still enough there to kill someone, let alone that they are made of steel (and aluminum...)

Heyy...i mean who would really mess with something like a train! theyre fast, powerful, and dangerous if you dont know what your doing. the amount of weight going that fast i mean its many things and scary is one of them. the people that dont understand trains should really do some reasearch because they are something that are not made too be messed with!

ya it is realy stupid too go around gates. me and my uncle where "train hunting" if u might and we pulled upp to a gate and they were down!!!! so we sat there and saw 3 guilford units with an auto train and this idiot goes around the gate and believe me i almost had too close my eyes because that guy was from me to my computer away from that engine! It was amazing! i mean thats called flirting with death! also i heard they guy that got hit by the mbta actually parked on the tracks! can you say SUICIDE!!! i dont believe it! poor engineer [V]

I love making up locos that make my railway actually work....

You have asked the right question. In my world it'd be a bulldog. Childhood and what not.

[trainboyH16-44]

Ouch, but it's his fault. Never go around gaes, especially if it's a fast short train! There's just no point!

Let's just say to get there it's a 2 hour drive, but I am pretty close and go there often.
And streamline10. those are imaginary models based on the concept of F-M, with the large business from the APR continuing into the early 1970s in the locomtive business. H30-66 is the equivalent of the U30C and SD40, and the H20-64 is a branchline loco for working the APR's branchlines, kinda like the Milwaukee road's SDL39s (which the APR got some of later on)
Matthew

I get it....like the rare EMD F-10 [:)]. I love this hobby! Prototype is not a requirement, but a choice. My main "artistic license" is running 40's and 50's roads as if they were merged at that time; as in SP, C&NW, Rio Grande, like you see nowadays. (UP is dead to me. [xx(])

I just came up with a plan to start my railroad. I'm going to buy some foam and 1X4 & 1X3 and start a rural area that is part of my larger plan. The module will be about 8 feet X I'm not sure yet. Maybe a foot plus a few inches. The future urban area will be a bit wider.

You guys in Mass., I'm an old Springfield boy. Have fun!

Lucky. That is a good photo though. I came pretty close to getting into a war with one of their "judges." I don't know if they're all this way, but some do not wi***o listen to intelligent thoughts and points. They have their viewpoint and that's it. But, no use crying over spilled milk. My photos are getting plenty of hits over at rrpicturearchives.net.
